  Unusual things that happen during prayers

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's a nice warm summer in a welsh sea-side town and the chairman is giving the concluding prayer.

  he starts to slow down and then there is a pause.

  it lasts long enough to make you open your eyes and lookup in time to see him wobbling backwards and forwards.. two brothers leap to the platform and catch him as he is about to pass out but then, in a rediculous scene, instead of helping him to a chair they prop him up between them and one of them carries on with the prayer!

  I cannot remember how old I was exactly but in my teens somewhere.And durring the ending prayer at a sunday meeting, a young brother who was standing in the front row did a face plant into a planter they had up front( plants in the kingdom hall?) The prayer was ended quickly as this brother bagan to go into some kind of convulsions.He had hit his head pretty hard.After the prayer finishes a friend of mine ( the young mans cousin) and I were standing there gawking when wham she passed out right there next to me.As I watched her eyes roll to the back of her head all I could think of was."Im getting outta here people are dropping like flies"

  It turned out that someone just needed to open a window and let some air in cus it was too closed up in there.

  one who are mother's but never had the chance to hold their child are those who have lost a child.

  some because they chose to give their child up for adoption.

  others because of miscarriage or stillbirth.

  I lost my grandson 4 yrs ago.

  My daughter then 21 Got pregnant and at her first ultrasound they found a problem with the babies heart.

  She didnt want to abort him though the babies faterh and his family tried to pressure her into doing it.

  Tyler was diagnosed with HPLHS.Essentially half his heart was malformed,But upon researching his condition we found that these children have a 80% chance of being viable with the right help.

  So he was born at 8 lbs and cried lustily, the drs. were lined up for the nessary surgery.Three days after his birth he was taken in for surgery but the bipass machine malfunctioned killing him on the table.

  He was a beautiful baby and We think he would have done well.I still think about him often.especially since he now has a new baby sister.( whom im not allowed to see)

  mothers day can bring up many issues for some of us.

  for some their mothers have passed away and the opportunity to say i love you in person is forever lost.

  for others our mothers are lost to the borg.

  Mother,

  I have a hard time even calling you that at this time,because mothers dont turn there backs on their children,nor do they do the other things you have done to me.I never could imagine being as angry with you as I am now.

  I know you have drawn your line in the sand that you wont again be in the same place as i am untill i "repent" and turn back to what you think i should be doing.I WILL NOT! Because of this line you have drawn I plan to never see you again.This does hurt but because of your influence much more is at stake here, you have sucessfully influenced my daughter and now I have no relationship with her or my grandaughter.

  Where were you when it was tough for her.When she was soo sick and we were given no hope when she was young?

  Where were you when her son was diagnosed with his problems?Where were you when he died?

  Well I was there for her and was the only one who supported her not you or any other JW.Just me.

  I have other situations I wish to know why you wernt there when I needed you as a child.

  I hope this anger I feel right now will become only a dull ache when I think of you, as I continue to grow and heal from what you have helped to cause.

  after reading many stories here i guess i should have seen this coming but i would not have thought it possible with my family.. my brother and his family went over to the org over ten years ago.

  we were informed recently that one of my nephew's(jeff) got out and we could not be happier.

  jeff is seeing a woman who is very nice.

  john,

  This is a ver common thing among JWS.I am shunned by my mother as well as my adult daughter and her family.

  It is extremly painful not to see my grandchild although we live in the same town.My mother refuses to ever be in the same place as i might be.Its very unloving and cruel.
